We do not and have never condoned discrimination or hate speech in any form

Simon & Schuster

The US publisher issued a statement following an online campaign that gave Mr Yiannopoulos’s critics instructions on how to call the publishing house and individual book agents.

In a statement Simon & Schuster said: “We do not and have never condoned discrimination or hate speech in any form.

“At Simon & Schuster we have always published books by a wide range of authors with greatly varying, and frequently controversial opinions, and appealing to many different audiences of readers.

“While we are cognizant that many may disagree vehemently with the books we publish we note that the opinions expressed therein belong to out authors, and do not reflect either a corporate viewpoint of the views of our employees.”

Mrs Jones fired back: “Yea but you still help them spread their hate to even more people.”

The UK arm of Simon & Schuster said it will not be publishing Mr Yiannopoulos’s book.

The book, entitled Dangerous, is due to be released in March and has already reached number two on Amazon’s overall bestseller list.

Mr Yiannopoulos previously said: "I met with top execs at Simon & Schuster earlier in the year and spent half an hour trying to shock them with lewd jokes and outrageous opinions.

“I thought they were going to have me escorted from the building — but instead they offered me a wheelbarrow full of money.

"Every line of attack the forces of political correctness try on me fails pathetically.

“I’m more powerful, more influential and more fabulous than ever before, and this book is the moment Milo goes mainstream. Social justice warriors should be scared — very scared.”
